Coolidge State Park in VT is trying to stop the Emerald Ash borer by
harvesting the ash that is still good and doing other things.  I was there
recently, but could not find the description just now.  However,
https://vtinvasives.org/ tells a good deal about the borer.  It is
definitely a problem.

I believe Emerald Ash Borer has actually been in Lincoln for a while.
On Conservation Trail walks pre-covid, Tom Gumbart would point out
dead ash trees that were lost to the borer.

[LincolnTalk] Perhaps we need to be on alert

[Sara Mattes]

Emerald Ash Borer Cripples Bedford Ash Trees 
The
 emerald ash borer has landed in Bedford and appears to be unpacking for a 
lengthy stay. Larvae of this exotic beetle, which has its own webpage, 
www.emeraldashborer.info , “feed on the 
trees’ tissue, cutting off the flow of water and sugars from the roots and 
lower sections of the tree up to the leaves, killing the tree from the top 
down,” said Nick Pouliot in an email. Pouliot, operations manager of the DPW 
Grounds Division, recently was appointed town tree warden. The resulting dead 
branches become hazardous, and indeed several ash trees in the Town Hall 
parking area have been condemned and will be removed before Bedford Day, said 
Public Works Director David Manugian. “The trees tagged at the Town Hall area 
have been inspected and are beyond treatment. They are considered a hazard to 
people or property,” he wrote. Normally there’s a public hearing for town trees 
destined for removal, but Pouliot noted, “Trees at risk to people or property 
do not require a hearing.  We do post risk trees on the Grounds Division 
website 
(https://www.bedfordma.gov/department-of-public-works/webforms/grounds-division 
).”
 Dan Churella, chair of the Bedford Arbor Resource Committee (BARC), said the 
beetle is on the agenda of Thursday’s virtual committee meeting.
